Title: Fantasy bouldering trips
Post by: boxmonkey on November 22, 2016, 09:27:57 pm

Pretty sure ukb members have some more interesting trips in mind but sharing a couple of mine in hope of inspiration:

- Road trip to along west coast Scotland taking in bouldering in torrindon, applecross the Reiff in woods, Ardmair and sheigra around Ullapool
- Road trip from St Ives (godrevy, clodgy, carn brea) the  hartland quay and northcote on culm

I suppose what makes them 'fantasy' trips is the need for a road trip, commitment of 1/2 weeks and for conditions/weather to align in that period.

Sure ukb members have some real gems though... UK or further afield for the adventurous...

I tried to write one, but I kept ending up in Amsterdam...

Did this a couple of years ago, in the opposite direction. Didn't get the weather for bouldering in Torridon though, 27 degrees in Sheigra!

Fontainebleau. Done.

With crisp cold dry conditions after every rest day. Not even the lottery...

I would go back to Southeast USA, blessed with two weeks of perfect late Fall weather.
